Hi all,
I'm interested to know what people do when feeding groundbait mixed with particles.
When fishing still waters i always take a variety of baits; corn, meat, maggots, worms & pellets etc. My plan is to alternate between baits to see which works best. Therefore i add a little of each particle to my groundbait mix and it ends up looking like a pick and mix. My initial thinking was that if the fish are up for a particular bait e.g sweetcorn, then the corn in the mix will hold them in the swim until i make the change to corn and start catching. It was only yesterday after a rubbish session with little action that i started to question doing this. Is it better to feed a hand feed identical hook bait samples over (plain) groundbait at the time i switch to a particular hookbait or introduce a little of each throughout the session in this sort of pick n mix fashion?
any advice will be appreciated.
many thanks
Daji
